Need suggestions on how to resolve coping issue

10 years ago

We had our fiberglass pool put in a couple of years ago and had a number of problems getting it installed. It happened to be a particularly rainy year and the pool popped out of place twice, resulting in the company having to rent a crane 3 times. A month or so after it was all done, the mortar between the pool and the brick coping started coming off in big chunks and it also started coming off between the bricks on the topside. We called the pool guy (repeatedly) and 3 mos later, he sent a guy to replace the bricks that were coming out and the mortar between the pool and the brick. It looks like it was done by a 6 year old, the silicone or whatever they use where the brick coping meets the concrete deck is all over the place. Recently the mortar between the pool and coping started coming off again and I'm done. I'd like to pull out the brick coping and just do concrete to the edge of the pool. My question is: who is the best person to fix this? A concrete company is the obvious choice but do I have to have a pool place come out as well since the concrete will be attached to the pool? I don't even know if that statement makes sense! Sorry for the long post and thanks for any suggestions!
